Barone Pizzini's Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosé is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the Santella, Roncaglia, and Gallo vineyards, located in the heart of the Franciacorta terroir, characterized by deep morainic soils with gravel and pebble subsoils offering excellent drainage.
Harvesting is done manually into crates. The must obtained from soft pressing of the grapes ferments in steel tanks with temperature control and ages for 6 months, partly in steel and partly in barriques. This is followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle, with the wine remaining on its lees for 30-40 months.
In the glass, it presents a delicate cherry pink color. The bouquet is full and fruity, with notes of redcurrant, black cherry, and cassis. On the palate, it has a harmonious and persistent profile, with vigorous freshness.
Recommended with first courses, white meats, cold cuts, and cured meats.
